In a way yes, but things like keyboard shortcut, file pickers and similar are major convenience issues and not as easy if the only thing that runs on the metal is a server process, and the UI is limited to the browser. A webview UI like Tauri might solve that (I'm not familiar with it, so I can't say if it does). I think that's also the main reason software like VS Code is electron based and not browser based. | ||

What keyboard shortcut issue? What file picker issue? Both shortcuts and file pickers are available on the web. Now some particularly powerful and dangerous stuff like global hotkeys are not available or heavily restricted on the web, which is probably a good thing for most users. | ||
